Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for effecting the opening of sealed bag-like flexible packets and for dispensing the pourable contents thereof.
  • Sealed bag-like, flexible packets containing pourable substances are widely used.
  • Such packets may contain comestible substances, such as ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise, various types of sauces, or other type of substances, e.g., adhesives, sealing materials and the like.
  • the packets are usually made of air-tight multi-ply materials such as foil and plastic. While the packets are indeed effective in preserving their contents in good condition for an extended period of time, and are mechanically strong, withstanding abuses, the user has a difficult time in opening the packets unless a special tool such as scissors or knives are provided.
  • the per-se known notch or cut provided at the lateral edge of such a rectangular packet does assist in the task of opening the packet by tearing along the notch or cut, however, such an operation more often than not, results in spilling, or worse, spraying the surroundings with the contents thereof.
  • a device for effecting opening of a sealed baglike flexible packet and for dispensing pourable contents thereof comprising two interconnected limbs each having an inside and an outside surface and having a size at least equal to one dimension of said packet, so as to facilitate placing of said packet in between said limbs, and means located at the end portions of said limbs facilitating piercing or cutting of said packet to form an opening allowing the contents thereof to be dispensed upon effecting a sequential squeezing action on said packet starting from a point distant from said opening.
  • Fig. 1 illustrates the device for opening a sealed bag-like packet and for the dispensing of the contents thereof, according to the invention
  • Fig. 2 illustrates the manner of using the device of Fig. 1 for dispensing the contents thereof;
  • Figs. 3 to 5 illustrate a further embodiment of the device according to the invention and the manner of utilizing same for dispensing the contents of the packet
  • Figs. 6 and 7 illustrate still a further embodiment of the device according to the present invention and the manner of utilizing same. Description of the Preferred Embodiments
  • the device 2 is composed of two interconnected limbs 6 and 8 in the form of a rod or bar, each having an outside surface and an inside surface. For clarity, it is sufficient to designate the outside surface of limb 6, by the number 10 and the inside surface of limb 8, by the number 12.
  • the limbs 6 and 8 are interconnected at one end, constituting a handle 14.
  • the limb 6 is fitted at its other free end with a blade 16, the plane of which extends in the direction of the axes of the limbs.
  • the inner surface 12 of limb 8 may be provided with a groove 18 for accommodating the edge of the triangularly shaped blade 16.
  • the limbs 6 and 8 may be further interconnected along their length at 20, so as to form a slot-like opening 22.
  • the limbs 6 and 8 are made of flexible material such as plastic, for reasons which will become more apparent hereinafter.
  • one of its corners 24 is inserted in between the limb portions adjacent to the blade 16, as shown in Fig. 1 and the corner is cut away.
  • the uncut end portion 26 of the packet 4 is then inserted into the opening 22 in between the limbs 6 and 8.
  • the dispensing of the contents of the packet can now be effected either by squeezing the limbs towards each other while sliding the device along the packet towards the cut-away opening, or by gripping the handle 14 and revolving the device about its axis while keeping the edge 26 held in the opening 22.
  • Figs. 3 to 5 there is illustrated a slightly different embodiment than that of Figs. 1 and 2.
  • the interconnection may have a spring action quality, so as to render the device 2 with a "normally open” state in which the limbs 6 and 8 are spread apart, facilitating the placement of the packet 4 between the limbs for piercing and dispensing actions.
  • the free end 30 of limb 8 is fitted with a pointed edge 32 while the free end 34 of the limb 6 is formed with a hole 36.
  • the opening 38 is first pierced in the packet 4, preferably close to a corner or edge thereof, and then the opposite side 40 of the pierced packet 4 is placed in between the limbs 6 and 8.
  • the dispensing of the substance in the packet is either effected by a squeezing and sliding action, as illustrated in Fig. 5, or by revolving the device as described with reference to Fig. 1.
  • Figs. 6 and 7 show a modification of the device 2 according to the present invention, in which the limbs 6 and 8 are configured as plates having surface areas substantially the size of the packet surface areas.
  • the means facilitating cutting or piercing the packet which are in the form of a toothed blade 42, are located adjacent to the interconnecting portion 44, constituting an integral hinge of the limbs 6 and 8.
  • the interconnecting portion 44 constituting an integral hinge of the limbs 6 and 8.
  • Interengaging lock means 46 keep the plates in their closed state.
  • the device 2 is now ready for dispensing the pourable contents merely by sequentially squeezing or pushing the two plates towards one another.

Abstract

Un dispositif (2), permettant d'ouvrir un paquet (4) flexible de type sac fermé et de faire sortir son contenu, comprend deux branches (6, 8) interconnectées, dont chacune présente une surface interne (12) et une surface externe (10). Le dispositif a une taille au moins égale à l'une des dimensions du paquet (4), de façon à faciliter le positionnement de ce dernier entre les branches (6, 8). Il comporte également un mécanisme (32, 36) disposé aux extrémités terminales des branches (6, 8), de façon à faciliter le perçage ou la découpe du paquet (4) et à former une ouverture (38), ce qui permet de sortir le contenu du paquet (4) après une action de resserrement progressive exercée sur ce dernier et partant d'un point éloigné de l'ouverture (38).
